Abstract:

The overall aim of this Diploma Thesis is to identify which management technique(s) used for Monitoring and controlling in selected housing construction projects in Czech Republic or Colombia could be beneficially transferred from one country to another. This is a case study in the cities of Prague and Medellin. A qualitative research was conducted through a questionnaire for Colombian and Czech managers of selected housing construction companies. The theoretical overview covers the following aspects: the concept of project management and its phases; the restrictions and uncertainty existing in the construction industry; and the definition of management techniques frequently used by managers in the projects. This analysis includes cross-sectional data, Likert scale and breakdowns by relevant demographic variables. For the statistical analysis of the data is used the Chi-square Test.
